Description

The Persians, as a people still madic in their habits, and much given to long pilgrimages, have good kwledge of the ways and means of making a journey pleasant. Their saying, 'Avval rafik, baad tarik' (First a companion, then the road), is one which most travellers can fully appreciate. Accordingly, when planning a trip in the autumn of 1895 to the Land of Iran, I cast about for a companion, and was fortunate eugh to meet with two friends, both going that way, and who, moreover, like myself, had previously journeyed in Persia.
